The Bank of Canada’s second-quarter survey of businesses, due out later Monday morning, is expected to provide key input into its July 16 policy decision and quarterly monetary policy report. Markets will be looking for clues on how the central bank will frame its interest-rate statement and economic outlook. Although the focus is typically on expectations about future sales, inflation expectations will likely garner considerable attention this time around in light of the recent spike in consumer prices. Other key survey findings include companies’ investment and hiring plans.
